Painted Flowers






I've been absolutely bitten by the subscription box bug!  I've got a few things even lying around the office with me from @lootcrate and @goldentote and I guess always some @birchbox supples around.  I hope to do a mini-review of my first goldentote, but I'm actually on the fence about swapping one item in it while I just LURVE the item I got to pick.  Speaking of lurving things, this Isaac Mizrahi skirt is one of my favorite things I own.  It's also hard to match and pair with just about everything.  Today was the first time I've paired with this Vera Wang long-sleeved tee of painted flowers and I guess it's muted enough to match. But not.  I feel like I need to invest in a replacement wow-factor skirt but then I'd have less of the challenge to make my wardrobe "work for me."  My cute little solar-powered panda has been dancing on and off lately, and the sound is like a metronome (I remember clearly from years' past piano lessons) but happy.  Because panda= awesome.  I know, I should really stop with the black boots and tights.  Come spring, I swear I will!

Navy and Oatmeal







It's late in the day for me, but I had full morning (you'll notice the bandaid on my index finger from today's closeup IG pic).  So I'm here with my navy dress and oatmeal cardigan now!  I was adamant to find the perfect oatmeal color cardigan that was not 3/4 sleeved and it took me quite awhile.  Then I did find the perfect one (lovely Gap) and though it's supposed to be the neutral that goes with all neutrals, I realized I barely have any neutrals for it to match!  I don't have a ton of browns, grays, whites, but I do have just a few things in navy and black.  I offer up a closer look at this month's flip calendar map from Rifle Paper Co.  I've never been to Europe, but London seems delightful.  Just like yesterday, I am feeling a big leopardy so my flats say it all.  And I'm starting to notice an abundance of pink accessories around; that might be some influence from reading ourcitylights.org so often
